LoRaWAN®
Data transmission via the Internet of Things (IoT) with LoRaWAN®
The LoRaWAN® radio system from ZENNER enables data to be transmitted over long distances in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
LoRaWAN® IoT solutions from ZENNER
LoRaWAN® is an international, open radio standard, which is continually being developed by the LoRa Alliance®. By using a special modulation procedure (Chirp Spread Spectrum), very long ranges and excellent building penetration can be achieved with LoRaWAN®.
Bidirectional communication, a high level of security through modern encryption technologies and low energy demands make LoRaWAN® the perfect technology for the remote reading of water, heat and cooling energy meters and gas meters. Applications in the fields of Smart Building or Smart City can be implemented with LoRaWAN®.
Your benefits of LoRaWAN® solutions include:
- Reading of main and sub-metering meters or sensors remotely
- Meter readout without appointments
- Assignment to and billing of consumption of individual metering
- Visualisation of consumption and energy monitoring
- Simplifying the readout of meters in hard-to-reach measuring points
Future-proof measurement technology with LoRaWAN®
LoRaWAN® enables you to read data from water, heat and cooling energy and gas meters via a stationary radio system. ZENNER offers you a full range of LoRaWAN®-capable measurement technology and innovative radio modules for all types of meters.
The required network coverage can be cost-effectively deployed through the installation of LoRaWAN® gateways.
Wireless M-Bus
A flexible solution for meter data collection
Water meters, thermal energy meters and other devices or sensors can easily be readout as you walk or drive by.
Walk-by or drive-by readout with the mobile radio system
With the mobile wireless M-Bus radio system from ZENNER, you can use the convenient remote reading of energy meters by means of the walk-by or drive-by method. As a result, appointments and flat inspections are no longer necessary. The meter readout intervals become flexible.
The wireless M-Bus radio system is based on the European standard OMS (Open Metering System). This allows you to integrate OMS-compliant meters from different manufacturers into the radio system and read them out.
Your opportunities with the wireless M-Bus System from ZENNER:
- Reading of main and sub-metering meters or sensors remotely
- Meter readout without appointments
- Assignment to and billing of consumption of individual metering
- Visualisation of consumption and energy monitoring
- Simplifying the readout of meters in hard-to-reach measuring points
Secure data Secure data transmission by radio with the wireless M-Bus radio system
In the case of remote readout with the wireless M-Bus radio system, the measuring devices independently send a data protocol at defined intervals. For data protection reasons, the radio protocols are encrypted according to the latest technological standard.
They are processed and saved using the radio receiver MinoConnectRadio and a handheld or a tablet PC with reading software. The recorded consumption data and associated meter parameters are then transferred to a PC in the company and are available for billing or energy monitoring.
The wireless M-Bus radio system is especially suitable for:
- Meter farms with OMS-enabled meters from various manufacturers
- the reading of water, heating and cooling meters (thermal energy meters)
- the fulfilment of the in-year consumption information requirements in the submetering
M-Bus
The ideal modern, standardised reading solution
The intelligent solution for the automated and wired remote readout of water, heat and cooling, electricity and gas meters.
M-Bus solutions system and building technologies
M-Bus enable you to perform the remote reading of water, heat and cooling meters, electricity and gas meters, including on a high frequency basis without impacting on battery life.
The modern gateways and level converters from ZENNER transmit data to your chosen systems and ensure that the remote reading of a large number of meters is performed in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
ZENNER offers a wide range of products to connect your meters to an intelligent reading system with transmissions according to M-Bus standards (DIN EN 1434).
Your options with M-Bus systems include:
- Reading of all types of meters
- High frequency data collection intervals
- Validation and billing of consumption data
- Online transmission of measuring data
- Visualisation of consumption data and energy monitoring
- Implementation of “EED Informative Billing”
